Hello everyone!

I am having a problem that for the life of me I cannot figure out.

I have a text box that is being filled dynamically by some data being read from an XML file. That is working fine, but I want to make a custom scroll bar.

I have already created a slider like the one detailed in the Kirupa tutorial (here: [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/slider.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/slider.htm)), and that’s what I want to use as my scoll bar… however I do not know where to go from here.

If anyone could give me a kick in the right direction it would be a great help. I have a deadline at work and I am going to lose my mind if I can’t get this figured out.

Thanks,
